The whole world is my crematorium

33

Who was the person outside the door?

Was it a cultivator who came to see him off the same as the sword cultivator, or a disciple of Baihua Palace, or… him?

Xiao Yuan lowered his voice and asked, “Who is it?”

A low voice came from outside the door: “I heard that the Young Sect Master Shen is about to leave Baihua Palace, and I am here to see you off.”

Xiao Yuan clenched his fists tightly – it was really Xiao Du! Was it a coincidence that he came to ‘Shen Fugui’ at this time, or……

Xiao Yuan looked down at the nine-tone snail on the table. He couldn’t take any risks.

If Xiao Du heard the conversation between him and the sword cultivator just now, the only thing he could know was that the nine-tone snail was in the hands of ‘Shen Fugui’. He had a face-changing technique to protect him, so his identity wasn’t exposed completely. If he was careful, he might be able to handle it.

Xiao Yuan quickly made up his mind and changed his face. He had used this face in the past, it had no distinguished features and was so ordinary that it was often overlooked. Then he opened the closet and stuffed the red lotus, nine-tone snail and other things in.

As the door didn’t open for a long time, Xiao Du seemed to be impatient and said, “What, does the young master not want to see me?”

Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, opened the door and said, “Young Sect Master Shen has already left.”

Xiao Du looked at him unabashedly, his gaze sharp as if he was about to drill a few holes in him.

Xiao Yuan’s heart thumped; it seemed that Xiao Du had really heard the conversation between him and the sword cultivator.

For two years, the nine-tone snail had been lighting up from time to time to search for his presence. In the first few months after he ‘died’, sometimes it would glow all night and Xiao Yuan felt a little distressed about the spiritual power put into it. How great it would be if it could be given directly to him. Later, the nine-tone snail was quiet for a while, and soon after, it occasionally lit up.

Xiao Yuan could probably figure out Xiao Du’s thoughts. At first he didn’t want to accept it, then he had to accept and finally he calmed down and returned to doing his usual Demon Lord things: pampering his younger brother and step by step achieving his goal of killing the entire world.

But Xiao Du still didn’t let him go. With the heart-protecting spell, he knew that he was probably not dead. The corpse made by Luo Lan could deceive Gu Louyin and Mu Yingyang but could not deceive him.

Xiao Du was looking for him.

Xiao Yuan couldn’t figure out why Xiao Du was looking for him. For Xiao Du, he was just a chess piece with a beautiful face that could be used. If the chess piece was lost, then it was lost, just find another one to replace it. Gu Louyin was looking for him because of guilt, then what was Xiao Du doing it for? Just for that unwarranted desire to control?

As early as when he first arrived at Xingtian Sect, Xiao Yuan was vaguely aware of Xiao Du’s abnormality. Xiao Du was used to holding everything in the palm of his hand and he could not allow anything to deviate from his vision. Whether it was Xiao Du’s unbridled affection for him when he was his gege, or the Acacia Gu later, or the nine-tone snail, or the heart-protection spell, it was clear that Xiao Du had put a lot of effort into him. But he did not help Xiao Du get Qingyan, so how could Xiao Du accept it?
